Michelle, ma belle, sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble


Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.

This is "ask not what your country can do for you..." but very big form.
Then we were fighting the USSR. Now what exactly are we being asked to sacrifice all this fun cynicism for?
Didn't we beat the Russkies, and the Germans and JApanese for that matter, even with all those faults la laide (my opinion) Michelle isn't proud of...?

Hmmm... Somehow, I remember JFK's speech differently. He certainly did not say that "[he] will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual." Creepy.

Maybe Hussein Obama is a muslim after all. Don't they get hacked if you want to switch back?

I wasn't thinking of that. That "never allow you to go back to your lives as usual" (what a great campaign slogan!) brings back echoes of reeducation camps, circa 1976. The creation of a New Man is an ingrained pinko reflex that never dies. Deep down, that's a fundamental difference between Burkeans and Marxists.
